From the policy:

 

Handling cost: This must be limited to the reasonable costs for selecting and preparing the item for shipping and must not be excessive or unnecessary.

 

If it takes 10 minutes to select and prepare an order and I hire someone for $60 / hour, then a IMO a $10 handling fee is quite reasonable.

me too, but I want a 10 minute coffee break every two hours as well - fully paid, of course.

 

(but you can't include the cost of coffee in your P&H charges)

It's a really big warehouse.....Cat Tongue I really should get one of those segway things to make it a bit quicker to get the items. Just an example of how silly the policy is. I pay in Zimbabwean dollars also.

Well I want a smoking break for 5 minutes on the alternate hours.

 

If it bothers you enough leave a neg, if it annoys you a little leave a neut, if it is just a bit of a minor niggle leave them a pos and trash their postage star.

does sucking on a smoke impact your straw sucking abilities - you know the ones you're going to be using for packing and handling at $60 p/h?

 

LOLOL

 

BTW, that bridge and tower that you sold me - excellent packaging and handling! happy to provide a reference for you if you like!

 

 

EDIT: I did think the postage charge on them was a little excessive though - I think you should definitely check out the Postage Policy up there.

Gill, in the future, if you're concerned about a fragile item getting damaged in the post, you can just ask the seller to use a safer packaging method for the item. I do that sometimes and it works well. I neglected to do it recently though and an item was squished because it wasn't boxed.

 

$10 is a reasonable refund and you should have probably opened a PayPal dispute. $1.20 for stamps, $1.30 for envelope & other cost.

OP -- the Paypal dispute suggestion is a good one and if I were you, I'd pursue it

 

Further, I'd leave Neg Feedback.  Something simple, along the lines of, ' Seller charged X in postage but sent in $1.20 envelope'
